The pundits are far more critical of Sir Keir’s performance today. Guido brings you a commentary roundup…
It was interesting, though, that when Mr Johnson pushed back, Mr Starmer had trouble thinking on his feet. https://t.co/dXLbInwNpw

First time I've seen Starmer bested. Johnson seemed to have prepared and got the tone right. #PMQs

Boris much better than last two weeks, in that he avoided being marmalised. Starmer not agile enough, fluffed key moment. Last week Number 10 said no-one watches #PMQs - this week Starmer's team will say no-one watches #PMQs

I love the Starmtroopers almost as much as the Corbynites. I’ve said every week up until now how impressive Starmer is and how he’s had Boris on the ropes. Boris clearly won this week, but point that out and you’re a Tory stooge...

Whenever the best attack line after PMQs is “The PM didn’t answer the question” you know the PM won.

PS- that was a thoroughly good exchange. #johnson much more front-footed than last week. Has upped his game. #starmer asking the right questions.

Sir Keir is beginning to feel a little like Theresa May…
